Good news: Indonesian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Jordan. Just show up at Queen Alia International Airport or any land border, pay 40 JOD (about $56 USD) in cash, and you're in for 30 days. This applies in 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) and other land borders. Pay 40 JOD (about $56 USD) in cash — bring exact change in Jordanian dinars or US dollars. The visa is valid for 30 days single entry.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date in Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket out of Jordan. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready — a bus or ferry ticket to Israel also works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Jordan. Immigration may ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Have at least $500 USD in cash or a credit card statement showing available funds. Border officers rarely check this for short visits, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa fee must be paid in cash — no credit cards, no mobile payments. Bring Jordanian dinars or US dollars. ATMs are available after passport control, but you'll need cash before that.
Overstay fines add up fast
If you overstay even by one day, you'll be fined JOD 1.5 per day. For a 10-day overstay, that's JOD 15 (about $21 USD). Pay before you leave at the immigration office or airport. Don't ignore it — it can cause problems for future travel.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
After landing, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters before passport control. There are usually multiple counters — pick the one with the shortest queue. Have your passport and 40 JOD (or $56 USD) ready.
2
Pay the visa fee and get your visa sticker
Hand over your passport and cash. The officer will issue a visa sticker and paste it in your passport. This takes about 2-5 minutes. Keep the receipt.
3
Proceed to passport control
Join the queue for foreign passports. The officer will check your visa, passport, and may ask for your return ticket and hotel booking. Answer honestly. You'll get a 30-day entry stamp.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. Welcome to Jordan.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Jordan and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type at a Jordanian embassy before travel. Overstaying costs JOD 1.5 per day (about $2.10 USD), payable at the immigration office in Amman or at the airport before departure.
The visa fee is 40 JOD or $56 USD. Officers usually have change, but it's safer to bring exact amount in Jordanian dinars. US dollars are accepted, but you may get change in dinars at a poor exchange rate. Avoid large bills.
Yes. The visa on arrival is available at all land borders, including the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) from the West Bank, the Sheikh Hussein Bridge from Israel, and the Aqaba border from Saudi Arabia. The same fee and conditions apply.
No, if you stay airside (don't pass immigration) and your transit is under 12 hours at Queen Alia International Airport or King Hussein International Airport. If you leave the airport or stay overnight, you'll need a visa on arrival.
You'll be fined JOD 1.5 per day (about $2.10 USD) with no cap. Pay at the immigration office in Amman (Sun–Thu 08:00–15:00) or at the airport before departure. Overstay can also affect future visa applications, so avoid it.
